The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the InnovaBurn placental extracellular matrix (ECM) medical device from Convatec.
This device is intended to manage complex surgical wounds and burns, including partial-thickness second-degree burns.
Part of the InnovaMatrix platform, InnovaBurn is a xenograft controlled for genetic variability as well as environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet and activity levels.
The new device can be used to manage traumatic lacerations, dehisced incisional wounds, pressure and venous ulcers, post-surgical incisions, post-Mohs surgical wounds, and diabetic ulcers.
According to the company, InnovaBurn does not need preparation, specific placement orientation, tissue tracking or special storage.
Furthermore, the device is said to adhere and conform to wound sites.
